Each architect is given a different section of an unused apartment to renovate and Taranto was given the master suite. The suite was created with a couple in mind that was interested in intimacy and privacy. In place of a TV, the bedroom faces the terrace with the only separation being floor-to-ceiling glass doors that frame the view.

The room is flooded with light so the walls and ceilings were covered with a gray stucco and the floors with recycled wooden floors from wood that is used to produce cachaça barrels.
